Trouble at the Zoo – A New Cartoon
The job market just got tougher.
I’ve got a brand new cartoon just for you. This one pays overdue tribute to the difficult job market born of the collapse of credit and housing. (Image after jump.) Although the federal government is pulling out all the stops to create questionable jobs through the gigantic economic stimulus package passed this winter, many states and local governments are being forced to cut services, resulting in a loss of employment for countless thousands. As a cartoonist, I couldn’t help but ponder what would happen if zoos and safari parks were forced to fire their main attractions. So please: Enjoy, leave comments, write a poem.

Economic stimulus should be directed at all life forms. I say put lizards, fish and plants to work too (do they have lobbyists?).
“I don’t care how bad it gets. I’m not renting to gorillas.”
“Are you that gorilla guarding the door that I’m not supposed to see?”
“Stop looking at me like I’m a piece of meat!”
I thought Obama courted the zoo animal vote by promising cabinet posts. (Isn’t that the group that’s going to fill the Treasury openings?)
“I knew I shouldn’t have eaten all the bananas I bought this morning.”
“Seventeen years and just before I get my pension, bam! Things sure aren’t like they used to be.”
Ha, ha. Nice work on the captions, all. (I’m proud of my gorilla friend; he’s a handsome devil, don’t you think?)
I’m looking for a job that doesn’t require me to wear a suit.
I work for bananas, who do you think they will hire…lol.
I guess only homos can get these jobs!
Here’s a job opening testing luggage.
Wanna hear your horoscope? Mine says “Beware of tall dark strangers with evil intentions.” Hmm, I wonder what that means? Oh well, it doesn’t matter. They never come true anyway! Say…you wanna go get a drink with me when we’re done here? I’ll buy!
I like working with people.
No college? You’re not going anywhere without that sheepskin fella.
